The first time the power to the stage failed at Friday night's Spring Bling, held at the Constant Spring Football Field, the crowd did not seem particularly perturbed.
And the person who was then onstage, Leaf of Life, continued performing after the power was restored five minutes later, MC Sample Man's unamplified voice carrying surprisingly well as he continued to crack jokes in the interim.Continue Reading at the Jamaica Newspaper THESTAR
I like Beenie's music a lot, I won't deny that he is extremely talented and a great entertainer. I am not too happy with some of his words on the radio in New York. He needs to be a gentleman and not address his personal marital issues and love life to himself. That is what a real gentleman does. Here is a video clip of him doing a freestyle for radio Planet.

FROM ASSASSIN, IN HIS OWN WORDS:
On Saturday March 28, 2009, my performance at the Red Stripe Live concert was ended prematurely and abruptly, as I was stripped of my microphone and escorted off stage. I have spent many years of hard work and sacrifice building my reputation and brand as an artist, with a great level of integrity and professionalism. Indeed, the decision to include me in the line-up of this particular event is testament to that. I therefore have a responsibility to my fans and the general public to explain exactly what took place.
Upon being booked for the event, the songs I would be performing in my set were submitted in their entirety (without edits) weeks in advance, as requested by the organizers of the event. I rehearsed the songs in their entirety, on two separate occasions, in the presence of representatives from Red Stripe. There was no written or verbal communication from Red Stripe indicating any disapproval of the planned set, nor any discomfort with any specific lyrics or song. During my final rehearsal, I was merely asked to bear in mind the nature of the show, and upon arrival at the venue I was given a generic briefing by the promoters. At this point, there was still no indication from the promoters of any issue or objection to the planned performance.

Proving their versatility and
defying the attempts to label them as the "dagger producers" Equiknoxx
Music hits the industry with three blazing new singles from Lil Joe,
Tifa & Aidonia respectively. All three singles are of an uplifting
nature with contagious melodies to have listeners singing along without
even realizing it. First up is Equiknoxx's front runner Lil Joe with
his track entitled "Carry We On" which speaks to all people pressing on
throughout life's hardships. Tifa shows incredible vocal ability on her
track entitled "God Blessed", a ballad that tells her detractors of her
countless blessings from God. Aidonia changes direction from his most
recent offerings on his track entitled "Negative" a slow piece of
social commentary highlighting the short comings of society and the
continuous misrepresentations that politicians often leave in the lower
echelons of society.

This might be his last chance indeed, Ginuwine has a new single and video out "Last Chance". It features Lisa Raye (former first lady of Turcs & Caico) and Tyrese. I remember many years ago watching an interview with Ginuwine who said that one day he would be as big as Michael Jackson, mmm, Michael wishes he was as big as his prior self. So what do you think?
All summer long I was busy singing "Heels" by Timberlee, so when the video came out I was so excited! I even had the privilege to perform the opening of the song to Timberlee herself. Here is a behind the scenes look at Timberlee's photo shoot.
Ok finally something affordable after my week of lavish hot items not too friendly on the wallet. I stumbled upon this website that offers great deals on mane brand shoes for gentlemen and ladies.

If you are into ringtones, then you know that it's considered the new measure to see if a song is hot or not! In the United States of America, Soulja Boy holds the spot for the #1 ringtone with "Kiss me through the phone" featuring Sammie, but in Japan the #1 ringtone is "Guardian Angel" by T.O.K.
The song was amongst other genres of music such as Rap and Hip Hop. It is a feat in itself as the song was released over a year ago, that goes to show that good music is good music and will stand the test of time.
Ouch that must hurts, see what happens when people play around! T-Pain was on a golf cart with a friend, when the accident happened. They were fooling around when his friends allegedly pushed him off, T-Pain fell on the concrete and bust his mouth. He was rushed to the hospital and according to the news he lost 4 teeth. This comes as an unfortunate time, as T-Pain was in the middle of filming a video for Lil Kim single "Download". We wish him a speedy recovery!

MAN OOMAN (Man Woman)
A film about gender relations in Jamaica seen through dancehall dancing culture.
Jamaica has more churches per capita than any other place in the world. It also has more murders, except for the times when they get eclipsed by an occasional genocide in Africa. But in the most notorious parts of the gang war infested garrisons, where no cab driver will take a foreigner even at daytime, there's a party going on. Every single night of the week street dances are kept in different ghettos, where rivaling neighborhoods meet unarmed to have fun. The music is loud and aggressive and the dancing is wild, sexually explicit and the dancers often utilize props provided by the surroundings. Loudspeakers, trees, cars and buses are all used for dancing a dance that for the untrained eye looks like a combination of fighting and copulation.
But the dance is a very lively cultural phenomenon where new moves are developed weekly and spread out to the world through bootleg dvds. All dances have a name and a history and at least one person or crew who claims to be the architect behind it. Every year the worlds best female dancer is crowned at the spectacular and heavily sponsored International Dancehall Queen Contest. This film takes place in the weeks around the contest of 2007 - the biggest event ever in this subculture.
The film investigates the culture behind dancehall dancing and tries to find out how this dance became as absurd as it is today. It gives a glimpse at what kind of people the dancers are, how they live and why dancing is important to them.
The film is shot in 2007 in Kingston and Montego Bay, with footage from the two most notorious street parties Dutty Fridaze and Passa Passa and interviews with some of the biggest dancehall dancers in the world including Momo, Fleshy and Shelly Belly. International reggae superstar Beenie Man talks about the history of dancehall dancing and the interaction dancers and singers have in the dancehall world. One of the main entrepreneurs of the subculture, videoman Scrappy talks about the way filming and distributing dancehall footage has revolutionized the dancing and made it a possible escape from the life of poverty. Well-informed outsiders such as Jamaican-born poet Stacy-Ann Chin and professor at the University of the West Indies Carolyn Cooper help forth a certain understanding of this complex and widely misunderstood phenomenon. And city dwellers and scenesters such as producer Delroy Green, dancehall artist Crazy Chris and radio personality Champagne share their insight of the unquestionable patriarchy that is Jamaica. Where hugging up is against the law, holding hands and kissing is unseen outside the privacy of the home, parenting is done with a firm slap of the hand, girls and boys are treated like different species, homosexuality and oral sex is completely banned both socially and by law and where dancing seems like a ventilation device that blows off explosive sexual steam between women and men - or as it is always put in Jamaica - between Man and Ooman.

Madonna is adding a 4th child to her family. "Mercy" is a little 3 years old girl from the "Mchinji Home of Hope orphanage. She has no father and mother, they both died
Madonna has always wanted to adopt a little girl or buy from Malawi so that her son David would have someone who looked like him in the family.
"Many people - especially our Malawian friends - say that David should have a Malawian brother or sister," she recently told Malawi's The Nation newspaper. "It's something I have been considering but would only do if I had the support of the Malawian people and the government."
I, Malaika, am very happy. So many children around the world have no one to love and care for them, and I know that she can't save all of them, but one or even two lives will make a difference. For anyone that has an issue with it, I don't wish you to live one day in that child's shoes!

I have been speaking my mind about so many artists that feel as if they are above the law. I am not saying that every artist feels that way, I am simply saying that many do in all genres of music. A day can't go by and I don't see a story in the news in regards to an entertainer in trouble with the law. That being said, I am obviousy not the only one feeling this way, going through today's news, I came upon this editorial cartoon in the JAMAICA OBSERVER and thought I would share it with our viewers.
So Rihanna got herself some protection, she got herself a gun! A Tattoo gun that is, what were you thinking? To people who follow Rihanna, you know that she has been wearing a gun pendant on her necklace ever since the unfortunate Chris Brown incident.
Well, I guess she needed to take it a step further and add to her extensive tattoo collection. Los Angeles tattoo artist "Bang Bang" etched a gun across Rihanna's rib cage. She allegedly wanted 2 guns tattooed at the top of her arms, but because of her very lucrative deal with Cover Girl, and her need for a wholesome image she settled on her rib cage.
I wonder if that tattoo is a message for someone?
This is a flashback of Jason Lyrics in concert for Spring Break 2006 in Atlanta, opening for Sean Paul.

Did you know that entertainment news say that "Flo Rida" is the biggest rapper in the world. Just in case you say who is "Flor Rida" listen to the song bellow. Kentucky police is looking to question 2 unidentified men traveling with rapper "Flo Rida" over charges of animal abuse. "Flo Rida" is on tour promoting his upcoming CD "R.O.O.T.S", when a witness saw 2 men step off the tour bus and kill a rabbit. A witness saw the men brutally kill the animal before they re-entered the bus and leave the location.
Now, Lexington Police, Kentucky Police and Animal Control are investigation the incident and simply want to question the occupants of the bus.
His single "Right Round" recently surpassed 2 million in sales and is currently #1 on iTunes' Top 10.
His second single, "Sugar" featuring Wynter, is also #5 on iTunes' chart this week. R.O.O.T.S. is due in stores on April 7.

Finally Lil Kim speaks out publicly on The Notorious B.I.G movie. I for one am glad and everything she says makes a lot of sense, if she was never contacted how do they know what happened between the 2 of them. Here is she speaking with "Big Boi" on the Hot 97 show.
From watching this video from Harry Toddler you would never think that he uses bad language, but that's not what the Westmoreland, Jamaica police says. Patrick Jackson a.k.a Harry Toddler is just one more casualty caught up in Jamaica's indecent language law.
He could have faced up to 10 days in jail if he hadn't paid the $1,500 fine imposed by the court.
Harry Toddler was performing for the spring break link up show when he broke the law by uttering some indecent words (indecent in the courts view).
He told the Jamaica Star newspaper that "Mi get mi warning and mi good now 'cause mi nuh like dem thing deh. Mi a apologise to the whole a Westmoreland. A tru mi did a sing the song and the vibe and mi neva aware seh deh song deh would cause a problem."
As I promised for those of you who care, I am keeping you updated on Lil Kim's performances on "Dancing With The Stars". This is week 3 and hands down she is killing it, but you be the judge!
He is blessed in deed, Mr.Vegas has a new video for "I Am So Blessed" directed by the very famous Jay Will.
That's right Heineken and Guiness, move over and make some space for "Vintage # 2" from Carlsberg. If you are asking yourself what that is, don't worry you are not the only one. I was also clueless. Carlsbreg is actually one of the world leading brewery. This perticular beer is suppose to taste like a blend of vanilla and mocha or cocoa. Price tag? $367
I don't really care what someone's sexual orientation is. Love is Love as far as I am concern, and this is the opinion of Me, Malaika and not those of WorldFlavas.com or WorldFlavas Ent.
The only reason I am bringing this out is because Miss Cleo who calls herself "a proud voodoo woman" has come out in an interview that she is a lesbian. I wonder if she saw that in her future?
I am seriously tired of entertainers in court. I don't get it. I mean, sure I shouldn't judge anyone, as I do not want anyone judging me, but if you are in the public eye, which a chance at a greater life, with a chance to touch people lives one way or another, wouldn't you behave yourself? I am not saying that Bascom X has not, I guess I am taking my frustration out on him, from Ninja Man, Chris Brown, etc..

That's right, Mary J Blige is the next star to hit the screen on a Tyler Perry movie. Actually, as his recipe for success has not failed him yet, Tyler Perry will be bringing his play "I can do bad all by myself" to the movie screen with the help of Mary J Blige and Oscar nominated Taraji P Henson.

Now the alluring single is bound to place Jah Cure at the very top of reggae charts, as he looks forward to the release of his new album come early April. "I feel excited about this album, because this is the first album that I've made since I've been out of incarceration," states the soulful singer, whom many say is reminiscent of the great Bob Marley. "When all the other albums were released, I was in incarceration, so this is the first album that I made as a free man, and the first album launch I'll ever have in my life.
So this album is more sentimental, and I'm out here to make it grow and make it connect to the fans more. It's a joy to be able to promote it to my fans and to the media, and to participate in platforms like Facebook and YouTube, and advertise it as a free man to the free world." The video was commissioned by SoBe Entertainment and DangerZone Music Group. It was shot over a two-day period in luscious Ocho Rios, Jamaica, with locations spanning the luxurious Royal Plantation resort and surrounding beaches.
The video was directed by Rhona Fox and is slated for release in the upcoming week. For more information on Jah Cure, tour dates and details on the upcoming album release, including celebrations from Kingston to Miami, visit his artist profile at www.myspace.com/freejahscure.

PRESS RELEASE: New York, New York -- New York is set to be ablaze when four
legends in the sound system industry take center stage at Amazura on
Good Friday, April 10 for a clash that will go down in the history
books. For the first time ever, pioneer sound men David Rodigan, Down
Beat, King Jammy's and Black Scorpio are set to compete on one stage at
"Battle of the Legends" before thousands of fans.The sound clash industry is chock-full of rivalries. Two of the most notorious, which have been brewing for decades, include that of David Rodigan/Down Beat and King Jammy's/Black Scorpio. In an effort to allow these classic sounds to settle their score, Irish and Chin is converging them for this historical event. "Battle of the Legends" is just one of the exciting clash line-ups that Irish and Chin has in store in the near future.
The idea of having these greats clash and inevitably nurture their younger counterparts emerged after David Rodigan, Down Beat, King Jammy's and Black Scorpio were honored for their accomplishments at Death Before Dishonor 8 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Their striking performance at the event and strong crowd reception were tell-tale indicators that a clash was a must.
"I think that these sounds embody the comepetitive, yet good sportmanship of the sound clash golden era," says Garfield "Chin" Bourne. "This clash will afford young clash fans with a blueprint of a genuine sound clash....moreover, it will show them how an intense clash can go down without excessive cussing and disrespect."
With monstrous catalogues of some of the industry's most valued dubs, this clash is certain to drive sound clash revelers into a nostalgic frenzy. Bringing sound clashing back to the basics with music from Tenor Saw, Nitty Gritty, Johnny Osbourne and so many more is just one of the treats that will unfold at "Battle of the Legends."
Downbeat the ruler
"Although World Clash New York came
to a close, by no means could I hold back my passion for producing
top-of-the-line, respected sound clash events," says Garfield "Chin"
Bourne.
Easter weekend is set to be a blast in New York with this stellar affair. Meanwhile, clash fans in Jamaica will get to experience the ultimate sound system competition in Montego Bay at Irish and Chin's annual Death Before Dishonor on Easter Monday, April 13. A sizzlin' line-up, featuring the likes of Beenie Man and Ninja Man, has been finalized for the event's 9th installment.

Before anyone gets too excited let me come right out and say, yes it's a vending machine that distributes marijuana, no it's not available everywhere, and in order to get some "weed" out of it, you will need a few things.These vending machines are available in Los Angeles, U.S.A for now, and you can't find them next to the pepsi and doritos machine, even though it would make more sense.
Get some herbs and junk food for your after "munchies" effect.
Actually these machines are in dispensaries with round the clock security. For those who are lucky enough to get an official prescription for medical marijuana, these machines will be available for dispensing the medication.
To use them you will need a prescription, get fingerprinted, a prepaid card with your dosage and strength of herb.

When the man in my life told me that he'd bought a new phone and that it only cost him $400, I was in shock, after all unless it's a cute pair of shoes, how can you justify $400 on a phone?

I haven't been talking too much about the "beef" between 50 cent and Rick Ross, honestly even though i have been amused by 50 cent videos and all the banter going on, I just figured that this to shall pass.The reason I am actually addressing this today is that mothers have been brought into this. To be clearer 50 cent got a hold of one of Rick Ross baby mama porn tape, so of course, he used it against him, the video can be seen while "Pimpin' Curly", 50 cent alter ego/character narrated and comments.
Yes I did laugh when I saw it, after all I am human, but thinking about it after the fact I felt bad for their son who will one day see it, as well as his classmates, then again mama knew what she was doing I guess. Of course if you want to see the mini porn, click here RICKROSS BABYMAMA

"It was obvious to everyone (in Beijing) that with the rise of your country's great sprinters and hurdlers, a compelling rivalry between Jamaica and the United States had developed," USA Track and Field (USATF) chief executive Doug Logan wrote in a letter outlining the proposal.
Jamaica, led by triple gold medalist Usain Bolt, dominated the sprints at the Beijing Olympic Games a year after the U.S. produced the top sprinters at the 2007 world championships.

Associated Press PHOENIX (AP) -- Former NBA star Charles Barkley was released from jail Monday after serving a three-day sentence on a drunken-driving conviction.
Barkley left the Tent City jail just before 8 a.m., and avoided a group of reporters by leaving through another door, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Brian Lee said.
Barkley, a TNT studio analyst, reported to the jail Saturday morning wearing a blue warm-up suit with red stripes. He was not required to wear a jail uniform or the county's signature pink underwear because he got work release, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.
Barkley spent about 36 hours in jail after getting 12 hours of work release on Sunday and Monday. He was housed in a separate tent from the other inmates for his safety, and meals were brought to him.
The 46-year-old Barkley pleaded guilty last month to two misdemeanor DUI charges stemming from his Dec. 31 arrest, shortly after leaving a Scottsdale nightclub and failing a field sobriety test. He had a blood-alcohol level of .149 percent, nearly twice the legal limit.
A Scottsdale judge reduced Barkley's original 10-day sentence to three days after reviewing the case and deciding that seven days should be suspended if Barkley completes an alcohol-treatment program.
The Hall of Fame player also must pay more than $2,000 in fines and install an ignition-interlock device on his vehicles.
Barkley said last month that he made a mistake and just has "to take the beatdown."
Barkley played 16 seasons for the Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets, and played on the USA Olympic "Dream Team" in 1992 and 1996. He was an 11-time All-Star and league MVP in 1993.

While going through the daily internet blogs, I came upon an Hip Hop website who had the topic of the banning of daggering on Jamaican radio stations. They did agree that Hip Hop can be similar to Dancehall when it comes to depictions, and while they were not bashing Dancehall, nor Jamaica, nor music in general, they were curious to understand the following video. I am posting it to get people's view and comment on it, then I will contact that website to give them some feedback. I guess they got the video clip from DancehallReggae.com, Big shout out to the whole crew at DHR. Shout out to Illseed.

Any time that I speak of Bob Marley, it is always hard for me to put into words and explain how I feel about him, his music, his message. Here is a man that fought for his country, for justice and equality. He gave the world a piece of his soul and was and still is loved all over the world. I often hear some people talking about their Jamaican culture and the need to preserve it, to which I say, do not worry, that beloved culture is a part of everyone who loved Bob Marley!

Coolio say it isn't so? Coolio the rapper, turn actor, turn reality tv star was arrested at Los Angeles airport LAX for possesion of drugs, to be more exact crack cocaine.
The drugs were found by the screeners as he was making his way through a check point. He was then taken to the Los Angeles police department.
I just don't get it, I understand that drugs are the devil, and people who use them are considered to have a disease, but didn't he know that he'd have to go through screening? At least now I get the reason for his crazy hair style, the crack did it!
I love me so Biggie, here is a rare footage of him getting kicked out of an hotel with his entourage! Thanks to Illseed for the link!
The woman holding the cam towards the middle of the footage and the voice you hear is Dream Hampton, besides being a great friend of Biggie, she is a journalist and was the first woman editor for The Source magazine!

Back in 1995, Tupac Shakur wrote a screenplay for a movie while he was passing time in jail. The screenplay "Live 2 Tell" is about a drug lord who is trying to leave his life of drugs and crime behind.The screenplay was bought by a production company from Tupac's mother who controls his estate. The screenplay will be made into a movie starting this month and released soon after.
Tupac wrote the screenplay and was going to act as the main role, as we all know unfortunately he died. There are rumors that a movie about his life is in the works, after The Notorious B.I.G movie I can't wait to see Tupac's!
Chris Brown arraignment on his 2 counts felonies charges was postponed until April 6th 2009. I am hearing that the judge presiding is a black woman, not that it should matter as a judge needs to be fair and just, still by the look in Chris Brown face I can tell that he is a little worried.
Rihanna was not present but her lawyer was and declined on behalf of his client to a no contact order, still the judge told Chris "Mr. Brown, you are not to annoy, harass, molest, threaten or use force or violence against anyone."

This week in NewYork it's all about Mavado, with his album released this week he is hitting all the radio stations and has many shows in the works! Check out the video and more at our friends who bring us the news from Jamaica, click DANCEHALLMOBI to see the video of the album release party!
Mavado looks so shy in this interview with Angie Martinez, well you can check it out for yourself, I noticed the "bling" on his wrist, he is recession proof!
Notice how he says he doesn't go at any artist? And he will not answer Angie's question about Kartel nor if he ever was a barber!
Michael Jackson is returning to the big stage, The King Of Pop has not made any major performances since 1997, but this summer he will tour 10 shows, unfortunately for London, this is it for him, in his words "I love you so much. Thank you all. This is it. This is it. I just want
to say that these will be my final performances in London. This will be
it. When I say 'This Is It' I really mean this is it. I will be
performing the songs my fans want to hear. This is the final... the final
curtain call, okay - and I will see you in July. I love you - I really
do, you have to know that. I love you so much - really. From the bottom
of my heart."

I happen to stumble on this Japanese Reggae singer PUSHIM signed to Sony Music Japan. 33 years old Paku Pushin a.k.a Pushim came on the Japan Reggae scene in 1995, she also contributed back-up vocals for the Refugee Camp's "It's Too Late". Her 2006 album had a track with Lucianno and she has a younger sister that also is a Japanese Reggae singer, her name is YOUNGSHIM
I love Prince, I really do, I think that he is a musical genius very misunderstood, I still go crazy when I hear "When Doves Cry".Prince has a new 3 CD set coming out at the end of the month, well I am hoping that with 3 CD's full a song he gets a hit out of it, anyways the set will only be available through Target stores and website.
Prince has released albums lately but through the old fashion way of a record label, seems that musical legends like Prince, The Eagles and others found a better deal to release their albums through a major retailer such as Walmart, K-Mart, Target, etc..
The 3 CD set will be available as of March 29th, 2009
I know it's been a while since I posted the weeks new releases in the Reggae category but seems like Billboard.com had some issues, but without any further here are this week releases.

My main reason for showing this flashback video is because I noticed how things have changed yet in many ways remain the same. As soon as the clip starts you see a man and woman dancing together, do young people remember that? Nowadays when you watch a video of passa passa, bembe, or others most of the time men are on one side, and women on the other, but when they do engage in dancing together, it's a simulation of sex. I am not judging on whether it's right or wrong, I am just saying that I remember the days when men and women actually danced together close.
The reason I say they stay the same, is that in some ways, even though in the clip you see the man and woman, it is very sexually suggestive also, and there is no doubt in my mind that at some point he was aroused, it might not be as extreme as daggering, but then again who am I to judge?
Each generation have dances which are considered "sexual" by the older generation, but I still miss those good old days..

This true story tells of 24 years old African American mother Dee Roberts who was wrongfully arrested in a drug raid. This story took place in the middle of the 2000 presidential race between George Bush and Al Gore. The movie is set to be released April 7th 2009.
I know that this is not the Michael Jackson that you are use to see by now, but when I think of him, I like to remember him this way. So Michael Jackson has a great legacy that he will leave behind, but now he has come up with one more thing. Michael Jackson has allegedly recorded over 100 new and original songs that will only be release after his death. Do not get too excited because according to the author of a upcoming book about Michael, these songs are only for his children to be heard. Now, I do think that it is a great idea, but not to be negative, I wonder how much and how quick will the kids sell out these songs!
What shocked me the most was the empty audience, I still can not understand that situation. HypeTV is a great organization and they bring the best programming, they were not a small program or a flight by night show, so how is it that this event was so poorly organized? Yes I applaud them for bringing an award show to recognize and reward those that bring us so much entertainment and pleasure in music and videos and yes I understand that this was their first year, but to me it's not an excuse for the show that I sat there and watched for almost 3 hours.
Here is a clip of the show.
